Because we're not a totalitarian state built on the backbone of censorship and information control. Yet.

  You are already. You are trying all possible ways to destroy TikTok.

  So you will allow an app whose company is tied to a "totalitarian state built on the backbone of censorship and information control" to steal your data? You cannot have a company in China without agreeing to the terms and conditions of the CCP. The CCP is the totalitarian state you are so against. They are actively collecting your data. In realtime. And you don't want that app to be banned because you have a moral ideal to uphold. Great logic!

    No, I would never use TikTok. Why are you so eager to have the US copy the ideals of the CCP?

      > Why are you so eager to have the US copy the ideals of the CCP? There are no "ideals" in supporting something that is obviously stealing your data and handing it over to a totalitarian regime. Should you not be asking why this app exists in the store in the first place when the store and the app is being used within the jurisdiction of the United States but data being sent to a foreign entity? Would you be okay with US citizens personal information being handed over and stored in the servers controlled by a totalitarian Government? As far as being "eager" to have the US copy the ideals of the CCP are concerned let me tell you where you are wrong: If the US was to indeed copy the ideals of CCP, it would be forcing TikTok and other social media to hand over personal information of you and fellow US Citizens without a subpoena or a court order. Now that is copying the ideals of CCP.

  Is this about censorship and information control, or just about economic equity? Why should we be a market for China's applications when we can't do the same?
